Jinshan Temple.
Xuan Nan remained silent, not caring about Ye An’s indifference, because he had his own confidence, who can resist the temptation to own the thing in his hand?
“Chief, you must have heard the rumors in the city that I possess the much-coveted Breaking Barrier Pill in the martial arts world, but actually…
This is not a rumor.”
Xuan Nan never expected Ye An to really have the Breaking Barrier Pill. He had previously thought it was just a groundless rumor in the city.
After all, even during the period of the Seven Great Sects, the Breaking Barrier Pill was extremely precious. But who would have thought that this seemingly impossible happenstance would turn out not to be a rumor?
When Xuan Nan heard this, his greed flashed through his heart, but he quickly calmed down and forcefully suppressed his emotions.
Since Ye An was bold enough to tell him about these things, he had his own confidence, because Xuan Nan was certain that Jinshan Temple would not do anything to harm him, for he shared the bloodline of the Dayan Royal Family.
With this in mind, he stared intently at Ye An, wanting to know exactly why he was doing this.
“Chief, as long as Jinshan Temple is willing to lend me support, I’ll present the Breaking Barrier Pill to you.
Master Xuan Kong is a Half-step Innate master, which is nothing short of a pleasant surprise for me. With this Breaking Barrier Pill, Master will surely break through to Innate.
By then, that wretched woman, the side concubine of the prince, won’t stand a chance of forcing me to my death!”
Upon saying this, Ye An’s face was full of malice. How dare this vile woman behave like this, for he is the rightful heir to the first inheritor of the royal palace!
If it were not for the misfortunes that befell his royal mother, his position as the prince would have otherwise remained unshakable. However, due to the interference of his mother’s family, he now had to turn to Jinshan Temple for help.
But he could not blame his mother’s family, for they had provided the Breaking Barrier Pill. The only one to blame was that wretched woman, whose scheming had truly been unparalleled.
Initially, Ye An had taken an interest in Jinshan Temple because it had several nine-tiered experts. When Princess Ping’an brought him back to the capital, she had not pursued Jinshan Temple’s past faults, wishing to keep them as a backup plan.
Little did he know that today, he would actually be using this connection. This time, Ye An had originally intended to avoid disaster and use the Breaking Barrier Pill to gain another Half-step Innate master to protect himself.
When consumed by a Postnatal Nine-Realm master, the Breaking Barrier Pill had a 30% chance of breaking through to Innate, and would definitely break through to Half-step Innate.
However, the appearance of Master Xuan Kong made Ye An realize just how lucky he was, giving him an excellent opportunity to turn the tables.
He had initially thought that he was merely offering a Half-step Innate to obtain Jinshan Temple’s support, but instead, he now found himself gaining the favor of a true Innate Nation Protector Grandmaster.
A Half-step Innate master, upon consuming the Breaking Barrier Pill, would surely become an Innate Expert!
At this point, Xuan Nan could no longer remain seated, standing up. The Breaking Barrier Pill—should his senior brother consume it, then…
At the thought of this, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, “Son of the Crown Prince, could you permit this old monk some time? 1 need to report this matter in detail to Abbot Elder Brother.”
“Chief, please feel free to do so, 1’11 be waiting for your good news.”
Ye An was not in a hurry, knowing no martial artist could refuse the Barrier Breaking Pill. Xuan Nan didn’t stand on ceremony and hurriedly left.
This time, he not only sought Xuan Kong but also gathered all the high-ranking monks of the Xuan Generation.
Breaking Barrier Pill!?
Upon hearing Xuan Nan utter these three words, the others reacted in disbelief, just as Xuan Nan had earlier.
Xuan Nan nodded affirmatively, and at this point, the monks of the Xuan Generation felt as if they were in a dream, thinking how their senior brother, Master Xuan Kong, had failed to break through the bottleneck and become an Innate Grandmaster all these years.
Who would have thought that now, the opportunity would suddenly appear before their eyes? With this in mind, everyone turned to Xuan Kong, curious about his decision.
Naturally, Xuan Kong was also somewhat moved. He even thought to himself if only Ye An wasn’t the Prince of the Palace of Ping’an, then he could have killed him and seized his treasure without consequence.
But this was merely wishful thinking, for if he killed Ye An, the Dayan Dynasty’s response would be to make Jinshan Temple disappear from the face of the world.
By then, even if Xuan Kong were to become an Innate Grandmaster, the inheritance of Jinshan Temple would still prevail as the most important matter.
After pondering the pros and cons, Xuan Kong made his final decision—only by breaking through to Innate could Jinshan Temple truly rise to prominence.
Moreover, with their connection to the Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion, Jinshan Temple’s progress would not be hindered by the Dayan Dynasty, instead allowing it to flourish and prosper.
Once the decision was made, Xuan Kong didn’t hesitate, standing up and proclaimed, “Junior brothers, 1 have decided to cooperate with the Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion this time, and everything is for the sake of Jinshan Temple.” “Amitabha.”
The Xuan Generation High Monks naturally understood Xuan Kong’s meaning, and it was time for Jinshan Temple to have an Innate Master.
It was a morale-boosting belief that Jinshan Temple would surely rise because it had been too long since an Innate Master had appeared in Jinshan Temple.
Time can make people despair.
That night, Xuan Kong met with Ye An alone, no one knew what they talked about, but that night Xuan Kong announced that he would enter a life-closing retreat.
Just like that, Xuan Nan and the others were resolute and completely sealed off Jinshan Temple, no longer allowing pilgrims to burn incense and worship Buddha. Thus, Jinshan Temple was closed off.
As for the Dragon Suppression Guard, they were even more arranged by Ye An to rotate patrols every two hours, not letting any information about Jinshan Temple leak out.
J inzhou City.
During this time, an increasing number of martial artists from outside Jinzhou City came, and the pressure on the County Government Office greatly increased. Every day there would be street fights, creating extreme chaos.
In an ordinary house in the city, someone was secretly plotting at this moment.
“The news has been out for so long, and quite a few famous experts from the martial arts world have come. Can we take action now?”
One of them had a knife scar on his face, crossing his entire face, making him look extremely ferocious. If people from the martial arts world saw him, they would exclaim in surprise, this person was actually Blood-hand Qin Xing.
The other person had white eyebrows and black hair, looking somewhat eerie, he was also a famous expert in the martial arts world, Chu Xiong.
“The Side Concubine of the Prince has sent a letter saying that she can’t wait any longer, the longer the time, the more variables. Who could have thought that there really is a Barrier Breaking Pill in the Chu Family?
Side Concubine of the Prince has said this time, as long as Ye An is killed, no matter who gets the Barrier Breaking Pill, she won’t mind.”
As soon as this sentence came out, both of their breathing became more rapid.
“I had contacted the Lifeless Sect earlier and asked them to send some people over to muddy the waters, ensuring that the plan goes smoothly.
But unexpectedly, they refused our invitation this time, they really are unreliable.”
At this point, Chu Xiong couldn’t help but slap the table in anger, showing his inner fury, while Qin Xing didn’t care.
“It doesn’t matter, they are just jumping clowns. Otherwise, after making so much trouble over the years, they would have done more than just small skirmishes. The key now is that we must take action. The closure of Jinshan Temple makes me uneasy.”
“Fine, if that’s the case, I’ll have the Duan Family’s Five Tigers stir up the martial artists in the city tomorrow. When we get to Jinshan Temple, we’ll act according to the situation. If there’s a chance, we’ll kill Ye An directly. As for the Barrier Breaking Pill, it depends on who’s luckier.”
“Alright.”
Deep in both of their eyes was greed.
Barrier Breaking Pill!
As Chu Xiong and Qin Xing were conspiring to kill Ye An, in another mansion, people were also discussing what to do next.
These were the very disciples of the Lifeless Sect mentioned by Qin Xing and Chu Xiong. However, their conversation was much more peaceful.
“Protector, do you think Ye An really has a Barrier Breaking Pill? If so, is it a pity that our Sect decided not to snatch it?”
“Don’t think too much, the Sect has its own plans for this, you just need to execute your tasks. You must remember that our mission is to ensure Ye An’s safety.
As long as he is safe, we don’t need to be involved in this incident. If anyone acts without respecting the Sect’s decision, don’t blame me for enforcing the family rules.”
At this point, he looked at everyone in the room, and they all immediately straightened up, not daring to even breathe.
Seeing them sitting on pins and needles, the Protector was slightly satisfied, although he didn’t quite understand the Sect’s arrangement.
He glanced out of the window, and under the night sky, there was no moonlight. The moon was completely blocked by clouds, and it was densely covered with dark clouds.
Something was bound to happen!
